Illustrated by
Jane Chapman.
A little owl who lives alone finds comfort in telling himself imaginative stories. When his daydreams spur him to travel the world, he encounters a group of snooty owls and quickly figures out how to win them over. Lack of conflict makes for an underwhelming read. The accompanying illustrations are enlivened by vivid hues and Owl's emotive, eager facial expressions.
